Best place to place heater?

[drahcir888]

dear all kindly advice on where to place the heater, in the tank itself or in the sump?

If you don't have a sump I'd put it closest to the output of your biggest filter and away from whatever you will be using to read the temperature of the tank.

ya if you dont have a sump I always put one at the output and intake of my FX5 but now I have a sump so they will be going in there...

In the water. OVER the gravel.

if you have no sump then how about in the return line from your canister filter. i hear good things about external inline heaters.

I run an inline heater on my 55 and it works like a charm. If you have a sump, that is the way to go.
